Styling Steps:
1. Apply mousse or gel according to hair type.
2. Part bangs above left eyebrow.
3. Blow dry hair completely.
4. Section hair in 2” horizontal layers. Starting in the back, take a 2” section off the bottom layer and smooth it out. Spray with a little hairspray and wrap around a curling iron from ends to scalp, sliding the curling iron out as you go to stretch out the curl. Spray each layer lightly with hairspray before moving on to the next layer.
5. Once you get to the crown area, only curl the ends of the hair. Tease the hair on top just a little bit for volume and smooth over, combing backward to gather hair in the crown.
6. Take curls from sides and pin using bobby pins in the back. After sides are pinned back, smooth top part back and pin loosely. Roll it under just a little to pin underneath. Let the ends of the curls hang loose.
7. For bangs, slide the curling iron from left to right and across the forehead. Curl the other face framing pieces just barely.
8. Once hair is in the desired position, spray completed style with finishing hairspray.
9. Spray lightly with shine spray, making sure to cover the roots with your free hand so your hair doesn’t look greasy or limp. Follow manufacturers’ instructions closely for this product.
